Linked messages

[Max Pitre]

Can llMessageLinked talk to a specific prim or script in the linkset? The linkset would also have different objects/prims added once in a while so keeping up with a link number would be an issue.

The first parameter of llMessageLinked is the prim the message will be sent to.

To account for changes in the prim numbering, the changed event tracks CHANGED_LINK. Whenever this happens, you can search for the correct prim again, for example by name, by looping through every prim in the linkset and comparing the name with the one you want.

Oh goody, more coding to pull more hair out...Thanks, that does help.

The most likely scenario for a changed link is someone sitting on the thing or standing, which won't change the link number of anything else in the set. Might be better to just check that case (the last link is an avatar, may ways to check that, for example: if(llGetAgentSize(llGetLinkKey(llGetNumberOfPrims()))){} ) and reset the script (presumably causing the search you described, among other cleanups) in the less likely case the linkset is actually changed.
